BEND
permits you to route LEVER1 or the Pithch Wheel
to the VCF Frequency so that if you're using LEVER1 to
p�ch bend the DCOs, for example, the VCF will also change
by a corresponding amount. This keeps the Filter level
relative to the DCOs constant no matter what bend amount
you're using and the sound of the patch remains the same.
On the other hand, LEVER1 can be used to open or close
the filter whether it is bending the DCOs or not. When
BEND is selected, LEVER1 or the Pitch Wheel is the only
one that is active.
VIB
adds vibrato modulation to the VCF, normally
controlled by LEVER2 or the Vibrato Wheel. When VIB is
selected, LEVER2 (Vibrato Wheel) is the only one that is
active.
BOTH
activates both LEVERS or Wheels to modulate the
VCF.
26 KEYBOARD / PORTAMENTO
This Parameter is similar in operation to "1 8 KEYBOARD
I
PORTAM ENTO" found in the DC02 Sub-Page although the
results are different audibly.
OFF
-
When this is selected, the keyboard has no effect on
the VCF FREQUENCY and the Master controller will not
track the Filter. The VCF FREQU ENCY will remain as you set
it in Parameter #21 . If
OFF
is selected, you will need to
increase the Filter FREQUENCY slightly to compensate for
the Master's control being removed.
PORTA
-
When this is selected, Portamento as set in the
RAMP
I
PORTAMENTO Sub-Page will affect the VCF
FREQUENCY. Just like the DCOs sliding from note to note,
the Filter frequency will also exhibit a sliding effect when
PORTA is selected in this Parameter.
KEYBD
-
When KEYBD is selected, the VCF will follow the
Master controller as different notes are played. This is called
"the keyboard tracking the filter". Playing high notes from
the Master opens the Filter and low notes close the Filter.
This allows the VCF FREQUENCY that you set with
Parameter #21 to keep its relative interval with the DCOs no
matter what keys are played.
VCA Parameters
The VGA section in the MATRIX-GR is a 2-Stage function allowing for
expanded flexibilty in the volume articulation of the patch. This section
contains two independent Voltage Controlled Amplifiers labeled VGA 1 and
VCA2.
